Bernhard Heisig – ‘War’ (1979)
The striking offset print ‘War’ from 1979 is by Bernhard Heisig, one of the most significant German artists of the 20th century and one of the leading figures of the Leipzig School. The work was published to mark the major Bernhard Heisig retrospective held in 1996 at the Mönchehaus Museum in Goslar and illustrates a central theme of his artistic oeuvre: his intense engagement with war, history and human experience.
The signed offset print on heavy card impresses with its powerful visual language and the expressive style typical of Heisig. His works combine personal experiences with social commentary and are characterised by dynamic, multi-layered compositions. With its large-format presentation, the work has a strong presence and is ideally suited to collectors of German post-war art as well as connoisseurs of sophisticated printmaking.
A high-quality art object in very good condition.
